On our way back from Colorado we stopped at Cadillac Ranch just west of Amarillo, TX on I40. It is a public art display of old cadillacs sticking in the ground of a farm pasture. If you are ever driving near Amarillo it is worth the stop and make sure you bring spray paint.
The Drive-By Truckers show last Thursday at the Dallas House of Blues was awesome. As you can see from the pictures below these guys are old school rock and rollers. Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley were great and you just have to love their lyrics. They even had Brent Best from Slobberbone join them for the encore. Here is the song list from the show:

For some reason, James McMurtry did not open for DBT. Instead, Telegraph Canyon was the opening act. They were pretty good.
Drive-By Truckers is a band that some of you probably already know about. They are a southern rock band that have made a name for themselves and spawned a couple of solo acts. Jason Isbell abruptly left the band in 2007 to start his own solo career and Patterson Hood just released a couple solo albums. The band's latest venture has been touring with Booker T. and serving as his back-up band. Here are some tracks from all of them. You should get their music because it is well worth it. The DBTs are coming to the Dallas House of Blues Oct 28th.
I am a regular guy in my mid-forties. I have a lovely wife and three great kids. When I was in College my friends and I were always into music. As people's lives get busier with family and work it is difficult to keep abreast of new music. I have created this blog to expose people like me to some new music as well as old favorites. Please take a listen and go out and support the artists you like. I appreciate you following the blog and I would love to hear your comments.
The MP3s are for sampling purposes only. My hope is that you will go buy the album if you like what you hear. If you have any complaints, please contact me directly.
